This was one of the most well-stocked VRBO's I've ever experienced! The location was perfect for us - near family, Smith's Grocery store conveniently around the corner, and the view of the city lights, mountains (complete with thunderstorms), and balloons one morning made it even more delightful. Highly recommend :-)

This stay started with trouble getting in. The only way in is using the garage door code but instructions emailed to me & available at a glance on the app were incorrect. Deeper in the app under expanded check in was a different code. Immediately after entering it was clear pets had recently visited & you could smell dog all over the furniture. We found dog hair on the couch, rugs, and even on towels put away in the closet. This had a large impact on one of the guests who had a reaction to the smell and dander. There were also cleanliness issues throughout like debris under beds, couch & grime on base boards & windowsills. And large unpleasant stains on the shower curtain & under the sink as well as a sticky spot in the middle of the kitchen sink mat. The home is in a fairly quiet neighborhood but you can hear the occasional dog barking/commotion. There were no laundry pods as described to start a load & there was only one dishwasher tab which we needed during our stay. There were no messages from the host to welcome/inquire about our stay until checkout asking us to notify if we left early. we did but got no response when we reported the lack of laundry pods/ dishwasher tabs. We didn’t contact about the careless cleaning job during our stay as we did not wish to further impact our time in town. If the cleaning was done professionally and with more care the stay could have been very nice. We stayed in 2 rental homes just before this and they were very clean as you’d expect

I’m so sorry Dawn had a bad experience. We switched cleaning crews and they obviously didn’t live up to our expectations. I wish she would have said something while she was there because I would have corrected it immediately. Please read ALL of our reviews. This is not the norm for us. Our deepest apologies to Dawn. We will do better.

Rio Rancho weekend

Our family spent 4nights in this lovely VRBO. Sadly, we were in the area for a funeral, but the home had a wonderful lay out, three nice bedrooms, and an inviting back yard space with a nice view. Nice home in a good, quiet neighborhood.

Interior was good. Weedy entry. Pet friendly. Not related to a vineyard, which we didn’t expect, but was in survey???Manager best. Initial VRBO info very poor. Wrong house, wrong description, wrong location. We thought we’d been scammed!

Christmas in Albuquerque

We were comfortable, the location was ideal for our purpose—a Christmas week seeing family members who live in New Mexico—and the hostess was very responsive when we encountered a few problems. That said, anyone considering this rental should be aware that there is not a working fireplace. I was fooled by the listing, and disappointed by its absence.

Very dusty with broken glass

The house is fine and the location was good for our purposes. The home had not been cleaned very well, there were food crumbs under the chairs, the hightop, and in the kitchen. It appears the cleaners only clean what is in the open and do not move any furniture to clean under it. There was a note about a broken glass table top, my wife stepped on a piece of glass on the floor, were were able to get it out of her foot. There was more glass around that table and it seems the same issue with the cleaning, if it needed to be moved to be cleaned, that was not going to happen. I am tall and could see that I could have written my name on the top of the refrigerator based on the amount of dust that had accumulated there over time. The tops of all the door jams had similar amounts of dust. Like I said, not a bad home, but in need of a severe cleaning and some more attention to detail as far as safety for the clients.

I'm so sorry this was your experience. I've spoken to the cleaning crew and will inspect the home for the next cleaning. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit otherwise.

Comfortable house

The house was very comfortable, and the kitchen was very well stocked with cookware. Overall a nice rental with just a few quibbles. There was a used Q-tip and lozenge in the trash can of one of the bathrooms. The leaves in the backyard looked like they hadn't been cleared in a few days, so we had to sweep them off to avoid bringing them into the house. Aside from those minor issues we wouldn't hesitate to rent the house again.

Cozy, comfortable home with great views

We spent a week in Rio Rancho to move our daughter into her apartment for college. This home checked all the boxes for that stay - reliable internet, separate workspace, a fully stocked kitchen, amazing views of the city, a nearby trail for hiking and quiet neighborhood. The views from the back patio are breath taking and our dog loved the trail directly behind the property. We will stay here again. Thanks!
